Brief Answer:
The effects will be pronounced in children.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to healthcaremagic.com
Yes, please do take your child to the ER to be on the safer side, We can not be sure about the concentration of Methamphetamine that your child consumed, methamphetamine dissolves readily in water so, even if your son drank a small amount, it could affect him as he is too young and drugs affect children more as their body surface area is less.
There might be legal implications to this in your country, I feel sad about the whole incident but you should understand that your children are your responsibility and substances like me methamphetamine should never be in reach of children.
My intention of urging you to take your son to ER is to make sure that your son will be safe.
I don't want you to get into trouble, but that may happen, I hope you understand.
If your son is sleeping, but is easily arousable, then I don't think it will be anything serious, but without being able to examine him in person I can never be sure about it.
I sincerely hope you will take the right decision, please write back if you need further assistance.
Wishing you and your child good health and all the best.
Kind regards
